They asked the sharks that would they like to accept a no Sugar no dairy challenge with them. For this, they could neither have any Sugar products nor any dairy products for 100 days. They asked the sharks to imagine if they cannot have Lemon juice, Milkshakes, chips, and Ice-creams for 100 days in the very high temperature of Nagpur. The founders accepted such kind of challenge some days ago and made the fruits their best friend. They purchased their favorite Ice-cream from the nearest Ice-cream parlor after completing this challenge, but in the first byte, they got the taste of chemicals and not of fruits. Then they decided to make an Ice-cream by which the people will get a feel of having fruits. They decided to make something unique, which started Licksters.
